IPC: G01N21/359
Filed: 2004-10-27
Abstract: A spectrophotometer capable of accommodating a change in carrying speed, and high-processing-quality, high-accuracy constant measurement without the possibility of the saturated or excessively small data level with respect to articles under measurement that are largely different, although of the same kind, in transmitted light quantity due to differences in density, skin thickness, size or the like of fruits and vegetables in an online non-destructive test of fruits and vegetables or the like by near infrared ray or the like. A light spectrally separated by being passed through fruits and vegetables and entered is received at two locations, that is a main light reception unit and a sample-use light reception unit, a digital value obtained from sample-use light reception unit and a preset reference value are digitally compare-operated, a gain in a variable gain type amplifier circuit is set to an optimum value based on the operation result, and then a signal from the main light reception unit is read as digital data via the variable gain type amplifier circuit, a zero-point compensation circuit, and an A/D  converter, thereby obtaining proper wavelength characteristics data.

Title: Method and system for processing geophysical survey data
Inventor: BREWSTER JAMES
IPC: G01V1/28
Filed: 2005-08-09
Abstract: A method and system for processing geophysical survey data is provided.  Gravity gradiometry data is processed by approximating density values of terrain signals to remove contributions of the terrain from the gravity gradiometry data. Initially, a predicted gravity gradient data set for a geographical area is calculated using terrain data with unit density. Next, a mathematical transformation is applied to recorded gravity gradiometer data of the geographical area and the predicted gravity gradiometry data. The transformation divides the data into component sub-functions so that each component function can be processed separately. The component sub-functions are processed to estimate densities of the geographical area. Then, using all the estimated densities, gravity gradients due to all of the terrain can be calculated, and subtracted from the recorder gravity gradient signals to reveal gravity gradients due to subsurface masses, for example.
